Sign on a Martinique street

Any sign, word, or place is susceptible to being converted into something else, for in these artifices there is no center, there are no spatial coordinates to tie down the shifting 'zones' and meanings of urban reality. Boyer 1996, 145

Do we need a center or fixed coordinates in order to have meanings and ties?
